Nice ride by the way...... :yup: ........ P. S. I'm not sure if they make these wheels in 18x9 for f'bodys, if not go with 18x9.5. .5" difference should be no prob.

I may be wrong but i dont think thats the right size for a 18x9 rim. I got 17x9 on my camaro and i use tire size 275/40, so for an 18x9 im guessing it'll be around 295/35 or more.

I don't think they will fit 18x9's to wide of a tire, baybe 18x10's........ But then again i may be wrong to..... :dunno:
